Gaming on a laptop — how it compares to desktops and should you buy one?

I've finally taken the time to seriously sit down with a "gaming" laptop and see just how good these portable rigs really are. Here are my thoughts.
I'm big on PC gaming. And that means desktop PC gaming. I've owned the an Xbox One since launch, but I rarely play games on the machine — you could even go as far as to say it's "like new". My record is even worse when it comes to gaming laptops, but I decided to really take some time out with the MSI GT83VR to see just how good gaming on the go can be.
